command-bar: Add a few deletion shortcuts (1.38 KB, patch)
2015-10-14 20:48 UTC, Damien Lespiau 		committed Details | Review

Description Damien Lespiau 2015-10-14 20:48:49 UTC 
Trying builder made me release I use ctrl-w quite often to delete words
preceding the cursor. The command-bar is no exception and I'm missing
ctrl-w enough to go and add it.

Because shells support this key binding and so does vim's 'command bar',
I figured it was general enough to be in shared.css (or should have it
been defaults.css?).

While at it, I added a couple slightly more esoteric deletion-related
shortcuts.

I like it. I sort of prefer ctrl+a/ctrl+e to work like emacs here too, but that might be taking it a bit far :)

So, I did wonder about ctrl+a/e as well. 2 people have thought about that, we cannot be alone! It does seem a bit overkill for the command-bar in its current form (compared to a full shell command line), but ctrl-a currently selects all the text, which gives away it's really a GtkTextEntry moonlighting as a command-bar.

Let's me cook a patch, might as well.
